Hauswerks, aka Colin Barratt has been producing and
DJing dance music for over 8 years with regular DJ sets
everywhere from Brazil to Amsterdam, London to Norway
and, of course, out in Ibiza. Whilst he often engineers for
other big name producers like Oliver Lang, or serves up big
hits on Cr2 or Berwick Street Records, ‘Tribe & Tested’ is a
long player debut for Barratt…
The album takes in everything from whistle led, gypsy
house tracks(The Whistler) to ducking and diving, rich
house beats(‘Lay back’) to Luciano style percussive house
with obscured vocal snippets (‘Highlife’). As the album
progresses so the tempos increase and things become all
the more wild: the aptly entitled ‘Africained’ has a wild and
flailing bongo beat backed by the murmurs of a room full of
people, whilst the first of two tracks featuring Gaz James
(‘Orondo’) is a more heads-down slice of bubbling under
techno.
The sunshine creeps in for ‘Rambana’ feat. Rosie Romero
where the beats have a little more space to breath, before
the ante is upped for the final tracks which bobble along on
some silvery tech waves. Overall ‘Tribe & Tested’ offers a
fine selection of dance floor cuts which make for rewarding
listening for the mind as much as the feet.
